It’s dated. Rooms are filled with insects as these are near trees. Pebbles between rooms made walking difficult especially when at night there were no lights between cabins.

Had everything stated but the property had started to date. The photos didn’t reflect the room we ended up with. It was clean and tidy and was adequate for what we needed. Only interaction with staff was at the end when they had started to clean the room before we had actually checked out (we had gone for breakfast).
